Tim Henman topped off a memorable month by picking up the LTA Player of the Year award at Wimbledon’s All England Club tonight.

The top domestic award for the British No1 comes just four weeks after he won the Tennis Masters event in Paris by beating Sebastien Grosjean, Gustavo Kuerton, Roger Federer, Andy Roddick and Andrei Pavel in successive matches. He described his first Masters Series win as the ‘greatest achievement’ of his career.

The LTA award was presented in recognition of Tim’s solid come back from his shoulder injury at the start of the year, including a memorable win over Morocco’s top player Younes El Aynaoui in four sets in the Davis Cup tie in Casablanca. It also took account of his efforts in support of British tennis off the court. This year he opened new indoor centres and academies in Manchester, Oxford and Bath and even took on Jonathan Ross at the Ariel Smashed event at the Regents Park City Tennis Club.

The Junior Player of the Year is Scotland’s Andrew Murray, the leading British junior. Andrew is now ranked seven in the ITF world rankings, having moved from 35 in February. His rise included winning the Canadian Open in August and reaching the quarter-finals of the US Open Junior Championships a month later.

Judy Murray, Andrew’s mother and the national coach in Scotland, was awarded the Coach of the Year title for her great success at both domestic and international level this year.

Disabled Player of the Year is Peter Norfolk, the No1 Quad player in the world, who this year won the French, US and British Open titles and stayed unbeaten in singles.

Team of the Year was awarded by the Marsh, the Insurance and Risk Management Group to the Great Britain 14 & Under boys team who reached the final of the European Summer Cup to qualify for the World Team Cup, defeating nations like Russia on the way.

LTA Club of Year was won by the Meadows City Tennis Club run by Edinburgh Leisure, which caters for 300 junior and 300 adult players a week in competition and coaching sessions. The club is one of 23 inner-city park sites developed with LTA funding.

Callington Community College from Cornwall received the LTA Tennis School of the year award, after investing more than £250,000 in new tennis facilities and setting up a clubhouse for pupils and the local community in East Cornwall.

The Local Authority of the Year award went to Nottingham City Council, which has been instrumental in the staging the annual Nottingham Open tournament and has recently opened a new City Tennis Club.

Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Worthing’s John Barton, who has managed the building of new indoor facilities at the West Worthing tennis club and shared his practical knowledge of club development with 20 other clubs in Sussex.

The Awards were presented by Charles Trippe, President of the LTA, and formed part of the annual Lawn Tennis Writers’ Association dinner.
